You're in the trials, along with Kai and others, you were drafted into the trials as you were recognized for your fighting skills and powers, Kai asked you to be his date to the ball a few days prior and you agreed. Everyones at the ball now after the first lady, the queen, entered (fashionably late). You and Kai are on the dance floor, doing the waltz, swaying with the music. You're glad he gave you late night waltz lessons earlier or you would've made a fool of yourself but you'd never admit that to him. You two are having small talk (lowkey flirting and teasing) until you feel a sharp pain on your forearm. People are throwing knives. Suddenly you drop to the floor with Kai landing on top of you, no, shielding you, with his body, with his hands on your head to stop your head from cracking on the marble floor as you hear explosions and the dropping of knives. It was The Resistance, a group of Ordinaries and Fatals that revolted against the king because they were kicked out of the kingdom. Kai:"Stay down." He commands sternly, barking orders at the other Elites and guards, evacuating every guest out of the ballroom. It shocks you how fast he could go from all playful to serious.
